All my components arrived from NAW&S. Where do I begin the install .

If all of your wiring is one color, use different colors of insulating tape on the last 1/2 foot or so of each end of the cables.

Just to give you an idea of what wiring up a solar power system can look like, our poster here "2ManyToyz" has some very nice DIY photos on his website (1/2 way down, follow the various links). And you can see how his system(s) evolved:

Solar power systems, in general, supply much less power than most of us are used to in day to day life... Plug in an electric room heater, and your 100 AH @ 12 volt battery will be dead in a bit more than a 1/2 hour.

So... You need to measure and understand your energy usage... Get a Kill-a-Watt type meter to measure AC loads:

And a DC Current Clamp DMM type meter to understand how your system works and debug if/when something goes wrong (just some starting links):

To give you an idea of how much energy you can harvest from solar... First an example of hours of sun per day:

San Diego California
Average Solar Insolation figures

Measured in kWh/m2/day onto a horizontal surface (i.e., flat roof of van):

Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun
3.30	4.10	5.21	6.34	6.42	6.08
Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
6.28	6.15	5.28	4.27	3.61	3.09

December is ~3.09 hours of sun, average, per day for December (10-20 years of average conditions) for San Diego on a flat mounted collector:

• 305 Watt panel * 0.61 average Solar AC system with Li Batt to AC power eff * 3.09 hours of sun per day = 575 Watt*Hours per day (120 VAC)

Say you have a 30 Watt laptop computer 5 hours per day. You charge your phone 10 Watts * 1.5 hours per day, 9 Watts of LED lighting 5 hours per night:

• 30 Watts * 5 hours = 150 WH
• 10 Watts * 1.5 hours = 15 WH
• 9 Watts * 5 hours = 45 WH
• Total WH per day = 210 WH per day

And your system, on average, For December would produce around 575 WH per day (more in summer, less in winter in other locations).

If you have DC powered items... Say your Van radio for 5 hours a day at 6 amps:

• 5 hours * 6 amps * 12 volts = 360 WH per day
• 210 WH + 360 WH = 570 WH per day

The above numbers are guesses... But give you an idea of how much power you can harvest/use per day. The Kill-a-Watt meter (and the DC Current Clamp, or other DC AH/WH meter) can give you the average usage to compare against what your system can produce.

Note that weather is highly variable... For example if you need a laptop computer for work, then on cloudy days you will have to forgot the Van stereo (or use your cell phone+headphones) instead. You don't want to plan on using 100% of your predicted energy every day.

To give you an idea of what your battery can do... Assume you run between 20% and 90% state of charge or 70% of usable capacity:

• 100 AH * 12 volts * 0.70 capacity usage = 840 Watts of "stored" energy at 12 volts
• 100 AH * 0.70 = 70 AH of stored energy (at 12 volts)

If you run the AC inverter, then the AC useful energy would be:

• 840 WH battery * 0.85 AC inverter eff = 714 WH @ 120 VAC of "useful" stored energy

What AC inverter did you pick? Hopefully a smaller unit. While your battery can supply lots of power for a short period of time, the average usage is much less (AC inverters take ~6 to 20+ Watts just turned on--Larger inverters usually take more power).

Your average usage (say 5 hours per night) from the battery would be:

• 840 WH of battery storage * 1/5 hours of usage for one night = 168 Watt average AC load supported

If you want two days of storage (stormy weather==Nearly zero energy harvest from solar):

• 840 WH battery * 1/5 hours per night * 1/2 nights of usage = 84 Watts average AC load (5 hours per night, 2 nights)

Please come back and ask questions. We are here to help. There is a lot of background information that new solar power users don't have and can make mistakes (usually end up "murdering" their first battery or two).
